Children of Zion, know your King,
Your own messiah hail:
Hosanna in his temple sing,
For he hath rent the veil.
Himself the sacrifice for sin,
As your High-Priest he died:
With his own blood, he entered in,—
Behold him crucified!
Behold him on the mercy-seat,
High in the holiest place;
Now cast yourselves before his feet,
The rise to see his face.
That face with reconciling beams
Shines forth upon you all;
no longer mourn by Babel’s streams,
He calls you,—hear his call.
So shall your hearts within you burn;
While guided by his voice,
With songs to Zion you return,
And in your God rejoice.
At his great name, bow every knee;
Let every tongue confess
Christ, whom your fathers slew, is HE,
The Lord your Righteousness.
